Confirming above bug, same issue when taking down Ultima tonight. All members of my alliance received 20% of their unique data bar for 100% to 0% of Ultima progression. Last month, we performed the same style takedown alliance and recieved 200% unique data.
Please fix... Also Temenos ??? is still bugged after moving to accepted bugs 09/2025...

Keep in mind "accepted bugs" isn't a confirmation of a bug, it only really means that you properly filled out your report and someone looked at it.

If the issue is investigated and they find the problem it will get moved to "confirmed / planning to address."

So after some testing Im fairly confident on the temenos ???. Drop does NOT appear to be random, but instead drops on ~20'th nm kill. If there is a bug with it, the bug is the amount of kills it takes for the ??? to drop. The problem is people run from from Start > finish on each floor. This works for apyllon due to the open aspect of the layout. However Temenos has so many out of the way areas that adventurers never travel to. The NM will pop in one of these areas and sit untouched for days. When basement objectives are up i'll often hunt the ??? NM. Almost every single time i start a hunt I find the NM in a back hall or alcove in Central. Often the graph in the corners. With it taking ~20 kills to spawn the ??? these of the path spawns make it take forever for players to accumulate 20 kills.
